What’s more fun than petting adorable stingrays? Doing it with a glass of wine in-hand. WineDown with Wildlife is coming to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum later this month, allowing visitors to sample ten different pours while enjoying all the facility has to offer.

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a renowned fusion experience featuring a zoo, botanical garden, art gallery & classes, natural history museum, and aquarium. Later this month, an event known as WineDown with Wildlife allows guests to sample a variety of robust wines while enjoying all the facility has to offer.

Free admission to the Stingray Touch exhibit is included with your ticket purchase. Feel the velvety skin of cownose stingrays (who have been thoroughly debarbed, so don’t worry!) as they swim gracefully through the water.

General admission tickets are $45 ($40 for members) and include ten wine tastings. Designated drivers only have to pay $20, receiving unlimited fountain drinks, tea, or coffee instead of wine, plus a souvenir cup.

For $65 ($60 for members and $30 for designated drivers), you get to enter the museum a half-hour early. This package also includes two complimentary glasses of wine, one being a merlot from Charron Vineyards, plus a commemorative wine glass and sticker.

If you don’t have a designated driver, take a ride on the Brew Van for just $30/person. You’ll be picked up and dropped off at the intersection of Congress Street and Avenida del Convento.

You can even take a 20-minute sunset hike with your glass of wine in-hand! Each person gets a nifty light-up wine pin to help light the way.
